JSON integer property being transferred as a float

Question

I am having some issues transferring a property from a JSON response payload to a subsequent REST call. I have two REST calls and between them a property transfer of an integer value in the payload to a URL parameter. While the value in the JSON is {"id":14}, it is being mapped into the target URL as /14.0/ - which my REST service rejects.

I understand that numbers are intrinsically floating point in JS(ON), but was wondering if there was any way I could apply a cast or truncation as part of the property transfer?

I am on SoapUI OS 5.2.1 on Windows 10.

Instead of property transfer, you can use groovy script to read the value from json. for eg:http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16585063/how-to-extract-the-parameter-from-json-response-using-groovy

It depends on the schema / data type.You can easily change it.
def value = 14.0
def transformedValue = value as Integer
assert transformedValue instanceof java.lang.Integer

Sorry, but I don't understand how&nbsp;I apply this cast in the JSON path expression, or do I need to perform it as another property transfer?&nbsp;1.jpg shows the original transfer request, showing 1.0.2.jpg shows my attempt at adding a cast to the JSONPath expression, which results in a null transfer

Many thanks for this. I am now using a Groovy script for the cast, as well as some filtering logic that I couldn't get done via a JSONPath filter regexp as described in my other post here: http://community.smartbear.com/t5/SoapUI-Open-Source/JSONPath-expression-including-a-filter-that-uses-a-RegExp/m-p/116754.&nbsp;Many thanks for your time!&nbsp;
